Get Uploaded File Mime Type and Client Filename

Anyone know how to recover an uploaded file MIME type and
client file name?
I'm writing my own cfx tag to process file uploads and pretty
much have it figured out except to determine the name of the client
file and mime type. The formfield file variable value contains the
path/filename to the CF temp directory, but I need the MIME type,
filename, etc. that is contained int he HTTP Header
(e.g. Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Image";
filename="C:\test.JPG"
Content-Type: image/pjpeg
[empty line])
I'm using the getHttpRequestData() functiont, but it only
gives me the content-type multipart/form-data, leaving out the Mime
type and Content-Disposition (which contains the client file name).

Hi Daniel,
do you use EPG, mod_plsql or APEX Listener? Have you changed the connection mechanism after upgrading to 4.2.1?
If you use the APEX Listener, which version do you use? Which browser and version do you use to upload the file? Does it reproduce with other browsers as well?

Uploading files Mime Type not correct for Office 2007 default extensions.

hi all,
My company has recently moved over to MS Office 2007 and the default extensions for word, excel etc are now .docx, xlsx etc (ie xml based).
Unfortunately now when we upload files through APEX to the database the MIME TYPE value for these files isn't being recognised and not loadeding correctly into the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table and subsequently any future retrieval of these files fails.
I could put some logic inthe up load procedure to look at the filename in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES and hard code in the releavnt mime types but this still causes problems when retrieving the content.
Has anyone come across this and got a workround? Is it a bug in AE?
regards
James
FYI - using APEX 3.0.2 over 11G.

I have not any response to my question and not sure if it is in Apex I need to look or the tomcat server that I need to look. I have a useful application to try to show others what Apex can do for our customers to collaborate. However, most of our customers are using office 2007 so, hoping this is possible.
I am using apex 3.2.0.00.27 if that helps someone to point me where to find more info on being able to have Word 2007 or excel 2007 fire up to open a .docx or .xlss file stored in a table blob column. Word or Excel does fire up to open .doc and .xls files.
The following is the query for a report selecting the filenames uploaded into a blob column in my table:
{ SELECT s.ID, SUBSTR(s.NAME,INSTR(s.NAME, '/',1,1)+1,length(s.NAME)) SHORT_FNAME, s.SUBJECT
FROM spp_attachments s
WHERE s.PROGRAM_ID = :P2_PROGRAMID }
Below is the stored procedure called from the link on the short_fname column in report query above.
{ create or replace PROCEDURE download_file(p_file IN number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
APEX_APPLICATION.G_FLOW_ID :=245;
IF NOT (wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.is_session_valid) then
owa_util.status_line(404, 'Page Not Found',true);
return;
else
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM spp_attachments
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'),
FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'||replace(REPLACE(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),NULL),chr(13),NULL)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end if;
end download_file; }
Thank you,
Mark

Automatically open file based on MIME type and file extension

We have an app that is registered to handle custom MIME type and file extension. This works perfectly on IE and FireFox causing them to download the file to a temp folder and then launch our app associated with MIME type and file extension with command line to the downloaded file. On Safari however this does not work. It opens up a download window and shows that it has downloaded the file with no option to open it.

Mime-types and schemas

after my last update yesterday I have got some problems with some mime-types. Directly after the update pacman said the following:

How to get uploaded file details in custom page

Hi,
I need to navigate to custom page after multiple file upload and display details of file uploaded in the custom page.
Is there any variable which indicates the files uploaded that can be used in my custom page?
Thanks in advance,
dhijit

Hi,
According to your description, you want to get uploaded file details after uploading the files in a custom page.
I suggest you create an event receiver in the custom page so that you can get file details when the files are added to the document library.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
       public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
           base.ItemAdded(properties);
           string fileURL = properties.ListItem.Web.Url + "/" + properties.ListItem.File.Url;

Hi,
Please Change your transfer settings in site manager from either default or passive to active it to see what's going on.
Also, check IE compatibility mode.
In addition, I suggest you install all latest updates for Windows since these updates will improve and fix some known issues.

[CLOSED] Graphical file/mime type association editor?

Is anyone aware of a general-purpose (i.e. not belonging necessarily to one of the major DEs) file/mime type association editor? I'd like to be able to change the default applications of a given file-type independently of the DE. In particular, I'd like to know how to set a default file manager.
Last edited by nbtrap (2011-10-31 19:39:10)

It doesn't look like there is a desktop-independent GUI for editing filetype associations. As far as I now understand, the concept itself it practically meaningless since DEs that conform to xdg standards have their own sets of associations. At any rate, the xdg-* tools are actually quite easy to work with. And I don't see any difference between mimeo and xdg-open. Thank you both for your help.

Mime-type and/or extension of script file

I would like to generate a script file dynamically on my web server and then have it downloaded to my users such that they can simply double-click the file and have it execute. I've gotten pretty close by using the ".command" extension, but it still requires a "chmod +x filename" after download in order to work properly. Is there another extension or a mime-type that I could use that would cause Mac OS X 10.4 and/or 10.5 to grant execute rights to the user that downloaded it? I'm not married to it being shell script if it can be done with AppleScript, Ruby, etc that would be great. It basically just has to be text file (non-binary format) so I can dynamically generate it on the server side.

How to get uploaded file name and path in BefExportToDat event script

I would like to get hold of the uploaded file name and full path in the event script "BefExportToDat", as I need to extract values from particular fields. However I have not yet found a way to do this.
- The input variable "strFile" returns the .Dat file path in the Outbox, to which it is about to export the data. This is no use to me.
- The API variable RES.PstrFilename is returning nothing
I am using RES.PstrFilename in the "BefFileImport" event script in a different FDM application and it works fine, however I need to find a way to get this to work in the "BefExportToDat" event script.
Please let me know how this might be achieved.

I am looking through the API calls in FDM Workbench, but cannot see the table (tPOVPartitions) you mentioned listed. Is this the correct name? And do I just use the function listed in the object browser to run the query?
Furthermore (going back to my initial thoughts of using strFile), it appears that although the variable contains the .Dat filename and path, the actual file is non-existent when "BefExportToDat" is executed:
Error:
Error: Export failed.
Detail: File not found.
This would make sense, but it does make the variable "strFile" a little pointless since one cannot make use of the file in this particular event script. Do you please have any thoughts on this?

When I try to click on a download link for a .pdf file Firefox does not recognize the MIME type and tries to download the file as "index.php"

When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.

Hi hakmacpace,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!
